Day 3 : Analyzing Horror movie posters

In terms of research I deconstructed Horror posters to find similarities and differences. While deconstructing these posters I realized that there are key colours, camera techniques, mise and scene and layout Horror posters like follow.
 Analyzing the similarities and differences between Horror movie posters made me realize that the posters regardless of the colours used, only have a specific variety of shots or angles. For example in "The others" poster above the positioning of the words fits well with the image. Her expression reinforces the idea that we should be scared of "The Others" and a lot of horror movies present the fear of the unknown in their posters as they make you as a viewer question what the protagonist/protagonists may face in the film.
